The building placement seems odd in that some of the houses are right next to the walls and one of the houses doors immediately faces a wall. Then again, those are not really the houses. In a small space that has a central path, I would recommend the houses from Hyrule Town that have side access. Having pathways even in small town area also makes it more like having adventurous areas. There is one city in Illusion of Gaia that really captures the feel of what you are going for well, although it arguably has more stone and concrete.
